How to Store Your Vice in a Small Workshop

How Can I Store My Vice?

Not every workshop is the same size or has the same layout. Often, you need to fit a lot of tools into a small space. We have put together a few tips from HEUER vice owners to show you how to store your vice without taking up too much room.

Which Vice or Accessories Do I Need?

Four questions to help you choose the right vice:

1. How large and heavy are the workpieces I usually handle?
2. What kind of work do I usually carry out on my workpieces?
3. How much space do I have, and how do I want to work?
4. What are my workpieces usually like?
Answer these four questions using our product configurator and we will show you what you need.

Mounting a Vice on a Pillar Drill

In his video, Thomas Müller shows us how to mount a HEUER Compact vice on a pillar drill. Not only does this save space in the workshop, it also offers the major advantage of holding workpieces securely and in the ideal position for drilling. We think it’s a great idea!

Mounting a Vice on a Pedestal Drill

In this video, Robert shows us how he attaches his HEUER vice to his pedestal drill to save space and avoid having to drill holes in his workbench. Take a look at the benefits of this storage and mounting solution. Perhaps it could work for you too. We think it’s a pretty clever idea!

If you already own a HEUER vice but now need more space in your workshop, we recommend the HEUER Collapsible. It allows you to fold your vice down beneath the workbench for storage and raise it again whenever you need it.
